thousands at least . do you know how many types of boolean logic
exist ? there are dozens of differant functions possible , plus by
having duplication of some modules thousands of possibilities exist .
making the modcan a blatant no question rip-off .

check lab electronics (india) boolean logic trainer . look &
learn . they start & follow.....and / nor / nand / or / 3 input and /
3 input nor / 3 input nand etc etc etc. then onto not gate , x-or ,
flip-flopsn & decade counter ( actually a divide by 5 & divide by 2 ,
chainable)

Rubbish . inverters are usefull to reverse any of the inputs &
outputs in any logic system , especially ,where several logic modules
exist.

..which you probably best not pronounce upon before checking out
your boolean logic...........

you only need a jot of imagination & knowledge of boolean logic to
come-up w/ myriad possibilities.

Thats enough for now . theres too much in this mail that is
incorrect.
